There’s a lot to master when running a small business.
Apart from being an expert at your trade, you also need to master booking systems, customer service, marketing, staff management, and the biggest challenge of all… your financials!
So, if you aren’t sure if you are doing your bookkeeping right, you aren’t alone.
Many small business owners find this a challenge.
Luckily, there is a solution. Colette, co-founder of Flow Fix Plumbing, discovered the perfect way to gain clarity for their business and gained huge amounts of confidence while doing so.
Here’s the Flow Fix story:
Lacking Financial Confidence
It is vital for every business to have accurate financial records. Good records keep you on the right side of the IRD, allow you to make informed business decisions and ensure you are always working with an accurate set of data.
But, if numbers are not your thing, how can you know if what you are doing is right and if your records will be correct?
Colette of Flow Fix Plumbing was experiencing this very issue, “we didn’t know if we were doing the right things for our business. When it came to our financials, we felt a little bit lost and didn’t have much confidence.”
That’s why Flow Fix Plumbing decided to engage the Figuration team to help ensure their records were correct.
“When we first started working with Amie at Figuration, we felt quite lost. But, with Amie’s help, we have turned those feelings around.
Figuration had an offering where they not only handled our bookkeeping and accounting, but also gave us business advice. Amie helped us put some goals in place and an action plan that would help us achieve those goals.
Once we had that plan in hand, we instantly felt more confident about the direction of our business. We also felt that we had more control and knew how we were going to navigate the next 5 years.
And, now that we have had some time to initiate the plan, we understand our financials better and have actually seen some business growth!”
Running a business can be difficult enough without feeling lost about what direction you should be heading in. Not to mention, worrying whether or not your financials are correct can be incredibly stressful.
But, you don’t have to continue to muddle through. Partnering with an experienced small business bookkeeper can give you direction, clarity and peace of mind.
“I would 100% recommend Amie, she is amazing with small businesses as she has a huge understanding of how a small business operates. She is truthful and honest about what is achievable and what isn’t. We had so many ideas about what we wanted to do in the business and she was able to tell us the areas that would work and where we should reign it in!
We can wholeheartedly trust her as a business mentor and know that she has our best interests at heart. Thanks to Amie, we have a clear plan of what we are doing in the next 5 years and have started to see results already.”
If you want the clarity and confidence in your business that Colette found, then we would love to help you do it.
